    65 y/o pheasant hunter dies

    I have been looking at a bag from Meditac. It is an EMT trauma bag packed to the hilt with everything you need and frankly more than I would ever hope to use. It's only around 100.00 dollars but I'm going to order one soon, maybe even this week. When you are out in the boonies and something...

    65 y/o pheasant hunter dies

    I read that a 65 y/o pheasant hunter dies after being shot in the leg. At 10:00 am the call went out for assistance. At 10:12 the helicopter was called. The helicopter was 25 minutes out. At 10:30 the hunter died from his wound. 18 minutes to exsanguinate and he was gone before they could air...

    Hunting the weather

    Thank you guys for all the well wishes. I am back home now, tired but alive and that is a good thing. I can tell you that I coded twice in the hosp., so I am grateful to still be walking this earth. My hunting is done until spring turkey, but I'm ok with that. In case anyone is wondering I live...

    D.C. SANFORD and Wildfowler Decoys

    Steve I don't know if you collect other brands of decoy anchors, however FB here in Erie Pa. has some "Jack Sweet" anchors up for sale here. I thought about picking up one myself but I really don't have a collection. I did have a collection of Navy style boat anchors but I have divested myself...

    Arkansas Opener Video from Public Land

    I have read that all the surface drives now get to places you could only dream of getting to in days gone by, and ducks get no rest spots anymore. This video would seem to bear that out. All the whooping and hollering going on is ridiculous and helps cement the "typical hunter" stereotype. This...

    Winter is here. Who’s hunting?

    Layout hunting Lake Erie this a.m. in my home made big water layout. I wish I knew how to post pictures so I could show you the boat. Something special about hunting out of your own creation.

    Winter is here. Who’s hunting?

    Can barely get out the back door with all the snow. I live outside of Erie Pa., in Girard. 29" of the stuff fell in 12 hours on Thanksgiving. A slight break yesterday afternoon, and now it's back this morning. I'm guessing at least 3 feet on the ground now and they predict another 10-20" today...

    Beautiful, however the bids seem really low. I'm guessing the price will go up closer to the end of the auction.

    US Drought Monitor: Not Looking Good for Anyone

    We are 7 inches below average here in NW Pa. with no rain in sight. Constant SW winds have killed the hunting here in the last 5 seasons and now we are stuck in that pattern again. I'm glad I am at the end of my hunting career because if I was just starting out, I doubt duck hunting would hold...

    Waterfowl harvest and breeding population reports are now available

    Isn't SC one of the worst places in the U.S. for duck hunting? If it's so bad why would there be so many additional hunters?

    Waterfowl harvest and breeding population reports are now available

    Pa. picked up an additional 9000 hunters from 22 to 23. That's a huge hunter increase. Additionally Pa shot over 6000 more mallards than 22. Sorry but I'm having a hard time believeing these numbers.Also the goose numbers are astronomical. An increase of over 60,000 more birds shot than 2022...
